Cinatop Cream 60gm may cause the following side effects:

Burning sensation
Itching
Redness
Stinging
Scaling
Dry skin
Allergic contact dermatitis: This is a type of skin inflammation caused by contact with certain substances, leading to severe itching, redness, and blistering.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Cinatop Cream 60gm. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Itching: Avoid scratching the treated areas as it might worsen the itching. Instead, gently pat or tap the area for relief.

Cinatop Cream 60gm contains ciclopirox (1% concentration). This active ingredient works on the body through the following actions:

Interference with Cellular Processes: Ciclopirox disrupts cellular membrane permeability and fungal respiratory activities. This leads to impaired transport of essential elements within fungal cells.
Inhibition of DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis: This ingredient also hinders the creation of DNA, RNA, and proteins in fungal cells.
Metal Chelation: Ciclopirox chelates polyvalent metal cations like Fe3+ and Al3+, blocking enzymes that break down toxic peroxides in fungi. As a result, a harmful concentration of peroxide accumulates within the fungal cell, leading to cell death.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Cinatop Cream 60gm if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it is crucial to speak to your doctor before applying Cinatop Cream 60gm.

Alcohol

Make sure the tube is tightly sealed after each use.
Always keep this medicine out of reach of children for safety reasons.

Maintain good personal hygiene: Regularly wash your hands and dry them properly, especially before applying Cinatop Cream 60gm. This can help prevent the further spread of fungal infections.
Wear breathable clothing: For conditions like athlete's foot or jock itch, wearing loose, breathable clothes can reduce moisture build-up and limit fungal growth. Avoid synthetic fabrics that trap sweat.
